Massena Arena posts strong month in revenue

MASSENA  With $30,190 in revenue, Massena Recreation Superintendent Richard A. Boprey called January a very strong month for the Massena Arena.

Mr. Boprey told Massena Joint Recreation Commission members last week that money came from a number of sources, including arena ice rental, games, events and public skating fees, which include shinny hockey sessions.

Arena advertising for the month was $1,450, he said. Concession sales were strong, up $1,400 from the previous month, Mr. Boprey said.

The figures dont include payments from SUNY Potsdam, whose mens hockey team is using the arena this season while its home ice at Maxcy Hall undergoes renovation. But, Mr. Boprey said, with the Bears home season winding down, he anticipates payment for the 10 contracted games will arrive soon.
